[openi18n-im:01290] Need API change: iiimcf_retrieve_hotkeys () and IIIMCF_EVENT_TYPE_REGISTER_HOTKEYS

Hi Leon, and all,

I'm afraid I'm the 1st to propose an API change after the freeze.

But, I'd need an API in libiiimcf to retrive hot key list, and 
possibilly a new IIIMCF event,
IIIMCF_EVENT_TYPE_REGISTER_HOTKEYS.

This is for xiiimp.so.2 and htt_xbe to achieve dynamic event flow model 
with XIM
applications, where ximcp.so.2 or old ximp40.so.2 is used in XIM 
implementation,
and they will need to receive conversion start up keys through XIM protocol
as soon as the connection with XIM server is made.

The new API will be to pull hot keys:

   #include <iiimcf.h>
   extern iiimcf_get_hotkeys (IIIMCF_context context, int *num_hotkey,  
IIIMCF_keyevent
         *keys);

This may be called when a new context is created, or when new IIIMCF 
event  IIIMCF_EVENT_TYPE_REGISTER_HOTKEYS is dispatched.

I'll create a prototype for proof of concept, and come up again with 
complete API and
patches for libiiimcf and xiiimp.so.2 - no later than 03/15 (Tue).

Regards,
Toshi
